More often than not, we find ourselves with empty spots in our living rooms, which you just can’t seem to find something appropriate to place.
It could be on the side of a sofa, or TV stand, or just between your living area and dining area.
I’ve definitely found myself in a similar position, and have a few times opted for some item that I later hated.
I then discovered that choosing not only neutral colours, but also neutral items helps me avoid wastage.
Why I choose neutrals for my home decor.
1. They never go out of season.
2. They don’t scream for attention.
3. If you get bored, you can always move them to other areas in the house and they’ll stil look great.
Unlike most of the developed world, here in South Africa we are not always flooded with great home decor options at a good price.
That’s why we make it our mission to bring to your attention anything good we find out there.
1. The first thing we found is this beautiful basket by Utopia.
It is so simple, yet very functional. It would sure do well with flowers or even a lightbulb in your living room.
It’s on sale on Zando for only R 481.
Check it out.
2. This Macrame Wall Hanger, also from Utopia.
If you want to go with some kind of old Spanish or Italian, or even South American vibe in your house, this can be a good addition. Walls are not only meant for photos and paintings.
This one is available for R 229.

3. This decor side table.
The table is literally made for spaces that otherwise look awkwardly empty. It doesn’t look out of place, and it will never command attention.
On top of it you can place a vase or bucket of flowers, or even a few books.
This beautiful piece is made from Birch Plywood. It is going for R 1,099.

4. This pill side table by Native Decor.
